I stand corrected

You might think the name of this blog is intended as a snarky joke, a reference to the lack of cultural events or nightlife here in the Vegas suburbs. And you'd be right.

But over at HendersonLive.com (I can only hope I stole their preferred name), proof that I was a bit hasty in my conclusions has once again slapped me in the face like a proverbial slap in the face.

That's right, on Sept. 1 ... LIVE! at the Henderson Pavilion ... it's Vince Neil! With special guests QUIET RIOT (not sure why that's in all caps -- Kevin Dubrow must have been compensating for something) and Slaughter. In fact, this event is so special, it merits a direct quote from the web site:

Vince Neil with special Guest Stars QUIET RIOT and Slaughter, "three of your favorites on one stage," with rock n� roll violin phenom Antonio Pontarelli as their opening act!!
If your flavor of music happens to be metal/rock you won't want to miss this.

OK. Apparently, "three of your favorites on one stage" is a direct quote from somebody or other. But whom? Sebastian Bach? Pamela Anderson? That bald, fat guy who hosted "Headbanger's Ball" on MTV? Some random kid in a Black Sabbath t-shirt playing Asteroids and sucking down a 90-oz Mountain Dew at a truck stop in Baker, Calif.? We need clarification, o great webmaster of HendersonLive.com.

And anytime you get to use "rock n? roll violin phenom" (sic) in a promo, you know you've got musical gold on your hands. Just stand back and count the money.

We've got The Hold Stead coming to the State Theater on Nov. 4. (Just thought I'd rub it in...)

That would be "Steady." Thank you very much.

The State Theater, huh? Seems a little staid for the boys. They're a sweaty, grind-yer-hips bar band if there ever was one. I think I saw them in their ideal setting -- back alley behind a bar giving away free PBR and barbecue.

You're just jealous that you can't see Vince Neil, QUIET RIOT and Slaughter, admit it.
